Donald Trump was greeted by cheering crowds and chants of ‘USA’ as he dropped by a Las Vegas casino on Saturday.
The President was caught on video at the Circa Casino as he strolled around with his security detail and chatted with excited patrons and staff.
He walked up to a craps table where a game was in progress, telling a player to ‘throw a dice’.
Trump was keen to get involved, blowing on a dice for good luck and playfully slapping one after a disappointing roll.
When journalists shouted questions at the President, a craps player scolded them, saying: ‘I’m rolling here!’
Trump told a gambler that he was ‘doing a good job’, thanked workers for holding water trays and signed a fan’s cap, before leaving.
Just before his surprise visit, Trump had delivered a speech to thousands of supporters, promoting his policy of ‘no tax on tips’ for the hospitality industry.

He told an enthralled audience: ‘Any worker who relies on tips [as] income, your tips will be 100% yours.
‘Nationwide, over four million workers depend on tip income, including an estimated 700,000 single moms…here in Nevada…think of it, a quarter of the typical restaurant workers’ pay comes from tips. I didn’t know that.’
Meanwhile, the Republican revealed his plan to ‘clean out’ Gaza as the fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel enters its second week.
He told reporters on Air Force One on Saturday that he would like neighbouring Arab nations to take in more Palestinians.
Trump said: ‘You’re talking about a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.
‘Almost everything is demolished and people are dying there.’
He added: ‘I’d like Egypt to take people. And I’d like Jordan to take people.’
The President also shared details of a phone call he had had that day with King Abdullah of Jordan.

The President had a busy weekend, also telling reporters of his plan to ‘clean out’ Gaza and getting embroiled in a row with the Colombian President
It has now been a week since Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President
He said: ‘You know over the centuries it’s had many, many conflicts. And I don’t know, something has to happen.
‘It’s literally a demolition site, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there.
‘So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change.’
It was a busy weekend for the President, who also moved to slap tariffs of 25 per cent on Colombian imports, as well as an immediate visa revocation for government officials, after the nation refused two planeloads of citizens being deported from the US.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro immediately backed down and even offered to use his presidential plane to ‘facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who were to arrive in the country this morning from deportation flights.’
However, he hit back at Trump in an angry tirade, branding him a ‘white slaveholder’ on track to ‘wipe out the human species’.
Petro said: ‘You don’t like our freedom, okay. I don’t shake hands with white slavers.’
‘Overthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond… You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance.’
